I suppose because of limited power available.

I've never had air conditioning in any house, although I remember
once long ago sleeping in a severely unfinished basement one very
hot night. Where I am now it is generally cooler than inland or in
the cities because I'm right on the shores of Georgian Bay and
any breeze coming over the water will be cooler than the air would
normally be.

No basement here but I can easily go swimming to cool off..   B)
